Instagram for Android finally released! (Or is it?)

Just for Fun, Smartphones & Cell Phones, Technology Blog on February 4th, 2012 No Comments

Beware of a supposed release of Instagram for Android by a publisher called “App for Android“. It’s not a real release of Instagram at all. I don’t know how this actually made it into the Android Market but I doubt it will take long to disappear.

3 huge giveaways that its fraudulent:

1. The fake app requires you to rate 5 stars before it will allow the use of filters.

2. The app is embedding AirPlay advertisements in the notification area immediately (currently the moat lucrative form of Android advertising)

3. The grand daddy: the screenshots are of an iPhone!

I was so anticipating this app, but alas, it looks like you and I will have to keep waiting.
